My approach will depends on a case by case analysis. Generally, I start with an initial preliminary conference for a brief discussion of facts and disputed issues, and the various sources of evidence relevant to the disputed issues. Some subsequent preliminary conferences may be held to provide more detail information, if necessary. At the evidentiary hearing, I will allow both parties, in an agreed sequence, to ask questions of a witness designed to elicit relevant and material information (not repetitive testimony). I will also question the witness for the purpose of obtaining supplemental information. At the end of the hearing, the parties will have an opportunity to provide oral/written input on any legal or factual issues pertaining to the dispute. I always do my best to not act in any manner so as to deny any party due process of law or violate any arbitration statute.

I like to to give back to the community by using my experience to resolve any real estate and business law disputes. I also like to help an already overburdened San Mateo County Superior Court.
